As a professional weaver, I'm in a constant state of changing what's on the loom: planning a project, dyeing yarn for the project, warping the loom with that new yarn, weaving, finishing, and so on. Blogging is a way for me to share the process, and a way for me to keep track of what I did when.

Honorable Mention

The Paso Robles Art Association holds exhibits of members' work every month or so. The current exhibit is themed Elemental, so I pulled out a weaving from 2013 called Reflections to enter. The opening reception was today, and the juror awarded the piece an Honorable Mention. She said that she has a soft spot for weaving, but in this case it didn't matter to her what medium it was, it expressed the theme perfectly.

The image is based on a photo taken from the dock at the cabin in Montana, and what I see is serenity and peace. I can almost smell the mountain air... and the trout will start leaping after bugs any second...

About Me

I am a professional weaver, specializing in complex weaves using fine threads. Most of my studio work consists of scarves, shawls, and wraps woven on a 48-inch, 24-shaft computer-assisted AVL dobby loom or wall art woven on a 48-inch, 1,440-heddle AVL jacquard loom. I exhibit and sell my work through high-end retail craft shows such as the Smithsonian Craft Show, the American Craft Council San Francisco show, and several smaller regional and local fine craft shows.
